A podcast about sisterhood (and other things)
Sections
Ah, another glorious walk down memory lane as we recount the summer jobs we had in our not-even-remotely-misspent youths (when you live in the country you really have to try to get into trouble): from potting teeny tiny saplings in teeny tiny pots to serving Sunday dinners to middle-aged golfers, we go deep into the […]
We’re talking about the magical moment(s) we discovered we were expecting – how we felt, who we told and how they reacted – in the latest episode of Not Without My Sister. We’ll be touching on unplanned pregnancies, asking how many pregnancy tests is too many pregnancy tests and divulging exactly how Don always knows Bea […]
We’re talking reality TV on this week’s episode – or, rather, Beatrice is quizzing Rosemary on what exactly it is that she enjoys about Love Island, The Bachelorette and true trash TV like Too Hot to Handle. Is it voyeurism? Is it the potential for ogling beautiful people in the sun? Or does she enjoy […]
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell truth from fiction – and we blame fiction, and popular culture more specifically, for tricking us into thinking that certain things would be easy and, more than that, FUN! We talk working as a camp counsellor, the cure-all qualities of Coca-Cola and Rosemary’s almost-career as a tennis champ in […]
What’s it like to move to another country, thousands of miles from your own? Do you ever truly feel at home? And will we ever go back to Ireland? We chat all things emigration on this week’s episode of Not Without My Sister – from cultural differences to things we’ll never stop missing, and the […]
A listener sent us in a quandary – asking how they should react if and when someone’s upset. So what’s the best course of action if a friend / colleague / partner is upset? Do you pretend you haven’t noticed and give them space? Comfort them? Write out a list of reasons they shouldn’t be […]
We’re talking about sunburn (and how it always turns into a nice tan), fake tan and – eek – sunbeds in this week’s episode, in honour of the millions of Irish people who are undoubtedly burnt to a crisp after the record-breaking weather of the past few weeks.Beatrice is talking about the special-occasion fake tan, […]
You may not know this as she hasn’t mentioned it AT ALL on social media or otherwise, but Rosemary is pregnant and, as a result, she’s downloaded a LOT of pregnancy-related apps and been reading a LOT of “new mom” forums… One particular “quandary” stuck out to her this week, so we thought we’d discuss […]
Beatrice loves CSI and Law & Order, while Rosemary is a champion of the true crime podcast (while simultaneously being a hypocrite about Karen and Georgia needing some pandemic-related time off). Where do you sit on the crime scale – and is there anyone out there who absolutely loves it all?! Things we mention include: […]
To complain – quietly, and only to one’s dining companion – is inherently Irish, but to make a fuss and complain TO the establishment itself?! Unheard of! Luckily, a few short months in the US and Rosemary has almost entirely forgotten any Irish tendencies she once had, and is happy to complain, willy-nilly, about anything […]
